Triumph has announced its first Factory Custom model for 2025: the Bobber TFC, according to the British the ultimate expression of Bobber style and attitude. The Triumph Bobber TFC, painted in a unique two-tone color scheme with hand-painted gold marble accents and covered in carbon, is produced in a limited edition.
Only 750 will be available worldwide, each with an individually numbered badge on the triple clamp milled from solid aluminum. The Bobber TFC is more than a ‘Bobber with a different lick of paint’, the British have also made some adjustments here and there in terms of technical specifications.
But first the design, which according to Triumph was developed by the leading British paint department. The Bobber TFC features a unique two-tone paint job with hand-painted gold marble textured accents on the minimalist tank and side panels, which should have increased the visual impact. Nice detail: each tank is hand signed by the artist on the bottom, which provides a personal touch.
The Bobber TFC has been given clip-ons for a sportier riding position, while the narrow 19-inch front wheel embodies ‘the purest expression of classic British Bobber style’ and contrasts with the wide rear tire for a commanding appearance.
A set of matte black Akrapovic mufflers with carbon end caps are combined with a stirring intake roar from the twin airboxes and throttle bodies, which perfectly matches the Bobber TFC’s more aggressive engine mapping, and the exhilarating throttle response in the additional Sport driving mode.
The Bonneville Bobber TFC also features high-spec Öhlins suspension front and rear, powerful radial-mount Brembo monobloc brake calipers with a Brembo MCS master cylinder and a significant weight reduction over the standard Bobber – all tuned and optimized by the Triumph chassis development experts, for a riding experience that is as special as the bike looks.
“The Bobber is the bike of choice for the many fantastic custom builders and we know that more than 70 percent of our customers in this category personalize their bikes with accessories.

“From the exclusive paint job to the high-quality components and gold-tone detailing, every part is crafted with unparalleled precision. With only 750 of these Bonneville Bobber TFCs in the world, this is a rare, handcrafted gem that combines heritage and innovation from Triumph, and while it will look fantastic as part of a collection, it is on the road that this bike will really come into its own.”
From the gold-colored detail on the ignition key to the saddle with embossed logo: the Bobber TFC has a luxurious appearance. In addition to the unique two-tone paint job with hand-painted marble gold-colored textured accents, gloss-lacquered side panels and real carbon fender brackets add a high-end, performance-oriented touch.
Gold-tone front fork legs and adjusters with gold-tone anodized detailing provide striking contrast and a refined, custom appearance, while milled solid aluminum engine cover badges with intricate gold-tone detailing and a gold-tone chain emphasize the attention to detail.
The black premium leather saddle, with the embossed triangular Triumph logo, should offer both comfort and exclusivity. This floating, single seat and hidden hard tail rear suspension create the Bobber’s signature style, muscular stance and purposeful appearance.
The clip-ons should have provided a tight, assertive riding position that should have improved both control and handling, while a weight reduction of more than 5kg over the standard Bobber model improved the motorcycle’s agility and responsiveness must have come.
With dual radial Brembo M50 calipers and 310mm rotors, the braking system delivers powerful, responsive stopping power, so you can dive into every corner with confidence. The 43 mm NIX 30 upside down front fork and (also) Öhlins rear shock provide precise, sporty handling that matches the sporty appearance, and according to Triumph are precisely tuned for optimal comfort and handling.
The beating heart of the Bobber TFC is the well-known 1200cc parallel twin, which, according to Triumph, has been specially tuned to deliver a top power of 78 hp at less than 6,000 rpm, with a maximum torque of 106 Nm at just 3,750 rpm. Triumph claims that the special tuning should have resulted in better response at low revs, making the TFC feel more powerful.
The Bobber TFC also has a new Sport riding mode, in addition to the standard Road and Rain modes, which provides even more direct throttle response. The striking double Akrapovič rear silencers with carbon end caps produce a deep hotrod sound that Triumph says fits perfectly with the cool character of the motorcycle.
The 2025 Triumph Bobber TFC, which can be seen at Triumph dealers from March 2025, will be sold in the Netherlands from € 22,995, with our southern neighbors only € 20,495.
